In dialogue
 
		By operating our grid safely and expanding it needs-based, we are assuming a significant share of the responsibility for a sustainable power supply.
Extensive engineering knowledge and a deep understanding of the technical aspects are not enough to successfully implement the energy transition and grid expansion – social acceptance is just as crucial. That is why we at Amprion seek early and ongoing dialogue with citizens, social groups, organizations, and representatives from politics and business.
Our goal is to explain to you in a clear and understandable way why new electricity connections are necessary and how they are planned, approved, and built. It is important to us to talk to you personally, listen to your suggestions and comments, and let you actively participate in the joint project of the energy transition.
Citizen participation at every step
 
		The grid expansion in Germany involves various steps in a multi-stage process. Citizens, authorities, associations, and organizations have the opportunity to obtain information and contribute their suggestions at various levels. In most cases, this is not only required by law, but is also of great importance to us as a transmission system operator. Since you know your home region best, we would like to optimize our plans in dialogue with you and tackle potential challenges together in advance.
We have therefore developed various event formats that go beyond the legal requirements. Every year, we offer citizen information markets, information mobile stops, and consultation hours for owners and tenants in order to provide information about our projects at an early stage and involve you in our planning.
